Type 1 Diabetes & 189 Visa

Looking to see if anyone has had any experience with applying for a 189 visa and being Type 1 diabetic.
My wife is a nurse and currently sitting on 70pts with our EOI.
She is a type 1 diabetic using an insulin pump and a CGM. This as a result means her Hba1c is spot on and has no complications.
Has anyone with Type1 applied and been accepted? Would this stop us from applying?

Usual advice is to consult with one of the agents who specialise in medical conditions. If her treatment is going to potentially cost the Aussie tax payer over a threshold figure then, yes, she could be denied. George Lombard, Peter Bollard and Richard Greagan are the go to guys with respect to medical conditions.
